Chapter 473: Resurrection
Wang Shufen eagerly reached out her hand.
She interrupted him without any sense of propriety, and although Old Master Lu looked displeased, he didn't say anything more.
Bai Zhi also took her pulse.
Then they asked Wang Shufen if she had any physical discomfort.
"Xiaozhi, when I get out of bed in the morning, it feels like the tendons in my heels are shorter than usual. I can't step firmly, and it takes a few steps to gradually relieve the pain. It's really uncomfortable, and I'm very worried. What's wrong with me? Is my condition getting worse?"
Wang Shufen clearly felt that her health had not been as good as it had been in the fall.
Especially when I wake up in the morning, it's not as severe as before, but I still feel uncomfortable.
"For your condition, it's like this in winter, the muscles contract severely. You must keep warm and get plenty of rest."
In addition, I'll do some stretching exercises. I was bedridden for a long time when my condition was severe, which caused my muscles to shorten. Now I need to exercise. Also, I'm changing the prescription today, adding more muscle-relaxing and blood-activating herbs, which should help.”
Wang Shufen nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll go exercise in a bit."
“I have another question,” Wang Shufen said. “Xiaozhi, when will my illness be completely cured and I won’t need to take medicine anymore? I’m taking Chinese medicine all day long, but my condition keeps recurring, and I’m about to break down.”
Plus, I've been so exhausted from dealing with my daughter lately, I really feel like I can't take it anymore.
"Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis is a long process. If you cooperate with the treatment, you can stop taking the medication when everything is normal and there are no more relapses. However, maintenance and conditioning are a lifelong matter, so you have to be mentally prepared."
"ah?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Shufen instantly lost confidence.
Will this illness stay with her for the rest of her life?
She couldn't help but recall the words of the specialists at the big hospitals she had visited before, who said she had an incurable cancer.
In the later stages, the hands and feet become deformed, leading to paralysis and confinement to a wheelchair.
That's really scary.
Could it be that even Doctor Ye and Bai Zhi couldn't cure her completely?
Wang Shufen thought to herself that Bai Zhi must lack medical experience, which was why she said that.
Doctor Ye will definitely be able to cure her completely.
As people have said, the advantage of traditional Chinese medicine is that it can cure the root cause of the disease.
Bai Zhi noticed Wang Shufen's ever-changing expression and clenched fingers, and comforted her in a relaxed tone, "Don't be nervous, relax and take your medicine properly. Once things stabilize after the New Year, you can switch to honey pills, which will be more convenient."
Grandpa Lu, his face ashen, complained unhappily, "You brought this on yourself by not feeling well. Why do you keep going out in this cold weather? Yesterday it was so cold, and you were out all day. When you came back, your nose was all blue, and you caught a cold that kept Zhang Ma up all night. Don't you know what's wrong with you? You don't follow the doctor's orders, and you expect to get better?"
"Dad, I was just worried about that brat. You said there hadn't been a single word from her these past two days. I asked you to send people to look for her, but you didn't care, and neither did Lu Hai. What if she's been scammed out there? What if she freezes to death in this cold weather? No matter what, she's my own daughter." Wang Shufen couldn't help but start crying again when she mentioned Lu Ya, and her voice choked with sobs.
Who wouldn't want to lie in bed watching TV on a freezing cold day?
But her own daughter is missing. What can she do if she doesn't go out to look for her?
As soon as Wang Shufen wiped away her tears, Old Master Lu became irritated. "Alright, stop wailing and go back to your room to rest."
As soon as Lu Hai entered the door, he heard his mother's wailing and complaints, as well as his grandfather's scolding.
"What is it now?" He looked at Wang Shufen with a stern face.
When Wang Shufen saw her son return, she quickly wiped her face and regained her dignified demeanor.
"It's alright, it's alright. I'll have your cousin-in-law take my pulse and prescribe some medicine."
It's clear that Wang Shufen is still afraid of her son.
Of course, it shouldn't be called fear either.
As a mother, she always wants to maintain a proper appearance and image in front of her son.
In particular, Lu Hai is so domineering, and he always complains about her crying.
"Sister-in-law, how is it? Has my mother's condition improved?" Lu Hai didn't say much, but followed Wang Shufen's words and looked at Bai Zhi to ask.
Bai Zhi said, "There's nothing seriously wrong overall. Just continue taking the medicine. Be careful to keep warm in winter and avoid catching a cold."
Upon hearing Bai Zhi mention that one shouldn't catch a cold, Lu Hai's expression darkened. He looked at Wang Shufen and reminded her irritably, "Did you hear that? Don't go out so often in the future. Didn't you catch a cold last night? If it relapses, you'll suffer again."
"I understand, I'm not going out. Let that girl die out there." Wang Shufen's tone was also very harsh.
No one asked her why she went out.
All he does is complain about her.
She knew that the men in this family were all cold-hearted.
She stood up. "I'm going to rest now."
Wang Shufen went inside, and Bai Zhi also said she was going upstairs to change her clothes.
Only Lu Hai and his grandfather remained in the living room.
"Where have you been? You haven't been home all night." Old Master Lu was already angry, and now he looked at Lu Hai with a sullen face, his tone filled with undisguised disappointment. "What's wrong with you all these days? Staying out all night all the time."
The two kids in the second son's family have absolutely no sense of discipline.
Free and undisciplined.
On second thought, neither of these two kids had served in the military or attended a decent university. They entered society at a young age and had no sense of discipline whatsoever.
Lu Hai was unfairly criticized, and he expressed his grievance, saying, "Grandpa, didn't you tell me to go out and find Lu Ya yesterday?"
Although I did sleep at my brother's house and drink that night.
But of course he wouldn't let the old man know that he stayed out all night because he was drinking.
"In this cold weather, who would want to stay out all night and work hard? I'd rather stay home and sleep soundly. I finally get to come home and rest for a few days, but it's all because of this troublesome person."
As soon as Lu Hai muttered this, the old man's expression softened, and his tone became gentler, "You looked for her all night?"
"I got a few friends to help me look for it. We went too far last night and couldn't get a ride back, so we stayed at a friend's house. We continued looking this morning." Lu Hai poured himself a cup of hot water, took a sip, and his voice sounded a little tired.
Grandpa Lu realized he had wronged Lu Hai, and a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.
"You've worked hard," he asked. "Any news?"
Lu Hai crossed his legs and smoothed his parted hair. "I'm working so hard, I'm bound to reap the rewards."
Where is he?
Meeting the old man's questioning gaze, Lu Hai's eyes flickered slightly, and he said to the old man, "She's working as a waitress in a hotel. I saw that she was doing quite well there, so I didn't catch her coming back."
He explained, "What I mean is to let her gain more experience outside and experience the hardships of earning money. Otherwise, she will really think she is so capable. If we bring her back now, we will have to run away again later. Only when she suffers enough outside will she understand the good intentions of her family."
